Yonathan Daza (hand) left Sunday's game early against the Philadelphia Phillies after being hit by a pitch on his left hand. X-rays came back negative, though, and manager Bud Black said Daza was considered day-to-day. "He'll be sore, but it could have been worse," Black said. "We don't know when [he will play], but he's going to be fine." It sounds as though Daza will avoid the injured list, but fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if Daza misses a few games to start the week. The Rockies are calling up outfield prospect
Brenton Doyle with both Daza and
Kris Bryant getting injured over the weekend. How long Doyle stays with the big-league team will depend on how quickly both Daza and Bryant can return to Colorado's lineup.

Yonathan Daza will act as the leadoff hitter for Thursday's Opening Day against the San Diego Padres, according to MLB.com. Daza earned that role after a solid 2022 season, where he batted .301 with a .349 OBP, and he hit .311 this spring. However, he showed little power and speed, with just two home runs and no stolen bases over 113 games. Daza has the skill to continue providing batting average, but fantasy managers shouldn't count on much else from the 29-year-old, especially if he loses the role at the top of the lineup if the Rockies aren't satisfied with his talent at the plate.

Yonathan Daza had another multi-hit game after he went 2-for-4 in Wednesday's 8-4 victory against the Milwaukee Brewers. He doubled and scored twice during the contest and has back-to-back two-hit games since coming off the injured list. Daza has come out of nowhere to be a big batting average contributor, hitting .304, but hasn't shown any power or speed (two home runs, no stolen bases) across his 92 games this season or throughout his career. Fantasy managers should know what they're sacrificing if they pick up the 28-year-old from the waiver wire.

Yonathan Daza (shoulder) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Daza suffered a left shoulder sprain, while making a diving catch in the first inning. The Rockies decided to pull him out of the contest after he came up clutching his arm. The 28-year-old is hopeful to avoid a trip to the injured list. That will likely be determined by how Daza feels over the next few days. For now, fantasy managers can consider Daza as day-to-day, but that could change.
